How to Use Cloudflare

[Kane]

After my website was under DDoS, I decided to use Cloudflare. I signed up and submitted my website. Since I cannot afford to pay $20 per month under pro plan and my website is just a hobby website, I decided to use the free plan. I was asked to change nameservers for my domain. I went to my domain register and replaced my web host nameservers with Cloudflare nameservers. My website is not up yet, what do I do now?

Does the revenue of ads could not for example pay for hosting or not have enough visitors and revenues from advertising are lower from the monthly plan hosting?

Well, it's not supposed to take too long before your websites comes online. But since it's not coming up, I believe that you should try and contact their support and hear what they will say. Since it's a free service, it might take longer for them to respond, so be patient.

I found this in Cloudfare community. Look into and see if there's anything that can help you there.

Revenue is too small to support premium services, I have kept the expenses low by using free services.

Thanks for the link, I manged to handle the case. Since my website was very small I never though it could be attacked. Looks like some people are jealous of what I am doing.

That's good hearing that you have been able to fix it. Just know it that there will always be some people who will never be happy for you no matter how good you are to them. Even when you haven't done anything to them, they will be looking for ways to hurt you. This is exactly what happened to your small website project.
